I don't think there's iTunes for Linux, but you can try using the windows version with Wine or other programs similar to iTunes like Rythmbox, Banshee or Amarok?

Edit: according to a quick search, you can use iTunes from Windows with Wine, but no native iTunes.

iTunes has not been ported to Linux, so you have to use a program called Wine that emulates windows for running it. I don't use iTunes, though. There are all kinds of other media software in the Software center. Or you can check the repositories.

okay i have the wine program but i don't know how to use it. i tried to follow the ehow instructions but i think it's a little advanced for me lol.

You are using Ubuntu? if so, just open the "Ubuntu software center" search for "Wine" and install. And then get iTunes for windows and double clicking should do it.

Why are you using Linux? No offense, but Linux is probably a little advanced for you.

My sister and aunt use it with no problem... you just have to teach them how to install programs and done.

hmm.. what exactly didn't work? can't you open the windows installer with wine?

Misombra, I just installed it here and it works perfectly, this is what I did:

1.Install Wine from the "Ubuntu Software Store"
2.Download iTunes from here (Selecting the "iTunes 9.1 for Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7" version, not 64 bit): [url=http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/]Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now[/url]
3.Open the downloaded .exe with "Wine windows program loader"
4. Install as usually with any windows program "next, yes next yes next yes..."
5.Done!

i don't know how to use wine.
